FAQ/TUTORIAL
Download Graphics to View Question: I do all the right things to avoid spam, yet I still get a ton of it. How are spammers even getting my email address?
Answer: Unfortunately, spammers have a variety of methods at their disposal to get email addresses. Here are some of the most common:
  • Leaked Account Databases. Spammers can collect active email addresses by mining leaked databases from compromised organizations like Adobe, LinkedIn, and Snapchat.
  • Email Address Lists. Legitimate businesses don’t sell email address lists, but if a list gets into the hands of an unscrupulous actor, they’ll have no problem selling it to spammers for a low price.
  • Random Email Addresses. Spam costs very little to send, so spammers may start with a popular email service like Gmail and then generate combinations of common words and names as the username.
  • “Crawl and Scrape” Programs. Any text on a webpage containing the @ character is fair game for robotic harvesting tools. Using this method, thousands of addresses can be collected within an hour.
  • Dishonest Unsubscribe Newsletter Links. A spammer will send a false newsletter email that includes an “unsubscribe” link. When you click the link, you’re confirming that a real person exists at your email address, which gets added to lists of valid addresses.
  • Fake Sweepstakes Sites. Spammers can get your email address through a fake sweepstakes site. They might give away a small prize, but their primary goal is to gather your personal information and use it to spam you.

Scam Alert – Watch Out For Social Media Video Scam
Phishing Alert


Like so many scams, this one seems innocent enough. You receive a Facebook message with a video link asking, “Is this you?” Of course you’re curious, so you click the link. When you do, you’re taken to a website that appears to be Facebook or YouTube and asked to log in again. If you log in, you’re actually providing your login credentials to the scammer, and they now have access to your account.

To avoid the scam, don’t click links that ask, “Is this you?” even if the message appears to be from someone you know. Instead, delete the message and make sure your firewall and antivirus software are up to date. Contact the sender (if you know them) using an alternative method such as a text and tell them their account may be compromised.

If you’ve already fallen for it (and don’t feel bad, it could happen to anyone), immediately reset your password for the site you provided credentials for and keep an eye out for suspicious activity on your account. Regularly check and update the privacy settings on all your social media accounts. You may also want to alert the site where this happened as well as the Better Business Bureau.
